2 Claims.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in combinedcurtain, shade and drapery brackets and more particularly to a fixtureof this character wherein a single mounting is constructed with all ofthe fittings necessary to support curtain and drapery rods and a shaderoller.

An important object of the invention is to provide an attaching platehaving means for slidably supporting a horizontally adjustable draperrod of novel construction to provide a desired overlap with respect to acurtain also supported on the attaching plate.

Another object is to provide a fixture of this character of simple andpractical construction, which is strong and durable, neat and attractivein appearance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise welladapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction andoperation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein likenumerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

Figure l is a perspective view;

Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on a line 2-2 of Figure 1;and

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on a line 3--3 of Figure 1.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, wherein, for the purpose ofillustration, I have disclosed a referred embodiment of my invention,the numeral designates an attaching plate constructed with a front plate6 and a rearwardly extending plate 1 formed angularly to each other andwith the plate I attached to the inner edge of a window frame 8 byscrews 9 to position plate 6 against the front surface of the frame.

The end section of an extensible drapery rod is shown at Ill andcomprises a rear bar II having a forwardly projecting end portion I2 atright angles to the outer end of the rear bar and a front bar I3extending inwardly from the front end of end portion I2 and unitedtherewith by a rounded corner I4 to support front bar I3 parallel to andspaced in front of rear bar II.

Rear bar II is formed with a longitudinal slot I5 slidable on a bolt andwing nut I6 and a pair of supporting pins I! carried by front plate 6 tosupport the display rod in horizontally adjusted position on the windowframe.

A curtain rod supporting hook I 8 is suitably secured to front plate 6in a forwardly projecting position under the display rod and with theup- 2 turned end I9 of the hook positioned between the front and rearbars of the drapery rod.

A shade roller supporting bracket 20 is also secured to the front plate6 below hook I8 and inwardly with respect thereto.

The drapery rod I0 may be adjusted inwardly or outwardly on bolt andwing nut I6 and supporting pins I! to provide a desired overlap at theside of the window with respect to a curtain rod supported on hook l8and which supports a curtain 2 I behind a drapery 22 supported on frontbar I3 of the drapery rod II]. The shade roller bracket 20 supports ashade roller 23 behind and inwardly of the ends of the curtain 2I andalso behind the drapery 22.

In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with theaccompanying drawings, it is believed that a clear understanding of thedevice will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A moredetailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.

It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shownand described a preferred embodiment of the invention, the same issusceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of theinvention as herein described and within the scope of the appendedclaims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A combined curtain, shade and drapery attachment for windowscomprising an angle bracket including first and second flanges, saidfirst flange having apertures therethrough for the reception offasteners to attach the same to a window frame, and vertically spaceddrapery, curtain and shade supporting means mounted on said secondflange, said drapery supporting means comprising a pair of horizontallyspaced guide pins projecting from said second flange and a threaded studbetween said pins, a U-shaped rod comprising first and second legs and aweb interconnecting said legs, said first leg having a longitudinal slottherein slidably mounting said first leg on said guide pins, said secondleg being adapted to receive a drapery and a headed fastener on saidthreaded stud to clamp the first leg in a selected position.

2. A combined curtain, shade and drapery attachment for windowscomprising an angle bracket including first and second flanges, saidfirst flange having apertures therethrough for the reception offasteners to attach the same to a window frame, and vertically spaceddrapery, curtain and shade supporting means mounted on 3 said secondflange, said drapery supporting means comprising a pair of horizontallyspaced guide pins projecting from said second flange and a threaded studbetween said pins, a U-shaped rod comprising first and second legs and aweb interconnecting said legs, said first leg havin a longitudinal slottherein slidably mounting said first leg on said guide pins, said secondleg being adapted to receive a drapery and a headed fastener on saidthreaded stud to clamp the first leg in a selected position, saidcurtain supporting means comprising a hook disposed below said guidepins and said blind supporting means comprising a lug projecting fromsaid second flange below said hook and having a notch for receiving ashade roller.
